Ticketmaster (now part of Live Nation Entertainment) popped up in the news over the weekend for comments made by the CEONathan Hubbard on the inaugural “This Week in Music” podcast. The new series, hosted by FMC Advisory Board member and TopspinCEOIan Rogers, offers in-depth coverage of developments in the music industry alongside album reviews and related industry news. The Hubbard interview is notable for the frankness exhibited by the CEO, something that often seems lacking in discussions about ticketing and the fan experience.

Washington, D.C.— Future of Music Coalition (FMC), a national non-profit research, education and advocacy organization for musicians, has joined with Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization, to release “Too Big to Fail” — a guidebook outlining the concerns of the music and arts community as well as information about how to report potential marketplace harm.
